Which planet of the solar system spins on its axis at the fastest rate?

Which planet of the solar system spins on its axis at the fastest rate? Correct Answer Jupiter

Jupiter is the fastest spinning planet in our Solar System rotating on average once in just under 10 hours. That is very fast especially considering how large Jupiter is. This means that Jupiter has the shortest days of all the planets in the Solar System.

Two circular dials of exactly the same size are mounted on a wall side by side in such a way that their perimeters touch at one point. Dial 1, which is on the left , spins clockwise around its center , and dial 2 , which is on the right spins counter clockwise around its center . (Assume that there is no friction at the point of contact between the dials.) Each dial is marked on its perimeter at three points that are at equale distances around the points arked ondial 1 are N, O, and P and the points marked on dial 2 are X, Y, and Z. If points O and Z are just meeting at the point of contact between the dials , and if dial 1 spins at the same speed as dial 2, what is the smallest number of revolutions of each dial that will bring O and Z together again?

National Solar Mission is one of the eight missions set up of National Action Plan on Climate change (NAPCC) that was released on 30 June 2008. With this ambitious target, India will become one of the largest Green Energy producers in the world, surpassing several developed countries. Government stepped up India’s solar power capacity target under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM), by five times, reaching 1,00,000 MW by 2022. The target will principally comprise 40 GW Rooftop and 60 GW through Large and Medium Scale Grid Connected Solar Power Projects. The new targets were approved in June 2015. During recent times with improvement in technology and scaling up production capacities, solar energy has become cost-competitive and targets seem to be more viable now.
